C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

Tourism is SC’s biggest industry, and our coastal areas — Myrtle Beach, Charleston, Hilton Head — are top spots for tourists from around the world. Now Trump is permitting drilling off SC’s coast. He’s trying to Deepwater Horizon us in SC. We the people must say NO loudly.

The Dept of Homeland Security has budgeted up to $200M to run anti-immigrant ads in the US & overseas that REPEATEDLY THANK TRUMP for leading an immigration crackdown. DHS Sec Kristi Noem said that these ads were Trump’s idea. 🔥NOT WASTEFUL AT ALL, RIGHT?!!🔥 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

Anyone in the SC General Assembly who promotes book bans and erases history must be voted out in 2026. Use your voice and your power to vote in every election.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Elon should have DOGE’d this. $200 million! Send it to Ukraine instead. Public schools. Or roads.

Ask every SC legislator this: if school vouchers are so popular, why won’t they put it on the ballot to amend the state constitution? Maybe it’s because they know school vouchers that defund public schools are deeply unpopular. Put it on the ballot or end this farce.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

SC, a bill banning all abortions with NO exceptions gets a hearing on Tuesday, March 4, 9 am-12 pm, at the Blatt Building on State House grounds. The current abortion ban is killing and harming SC women now. It CAN get worse. Please show up and speak out against this bill.

@jessicavalenti.bsky.social H. 3457, a bill to ban all abortions in SC with no exceptions gets a hearing on Tuesday, March 4, 9 am-12 pm, at the State House complex in Columbia. If these laws don’t kill us, they will put us in jail. Everyone, please show up and speak out against this if you can.

A new Missouri bill would create a registry of pregnant women "at risk for seeking an abortion." If that wasn’t bad enough, the bill would also give people interested in adopting access to this registry of pregnant women. More in the newsletter: jessica.substack.com/p/missouri-b...

Pretend she said SC instead of Missouri. Exactly the same thing. My hometown is so rural we don’t have a red light or a Hardee’s. We don’t have private schools to send taxpayer dollars to, hospitals or doctors when we get sick, decent roads, internet access, jobs that pay more than $7.25/hour.

A lesson in how claims of meritocracy as justification for opposing DEI are often cover for the demand that we return to a system of preference for white men - whatever their qualifications. Fire a qualified Black man. Hire a statutorily unqualified white man. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.
